Replenishing qi and blood—Red Top Chicken Ginseng Soup
Overview
Red-capped chickens inhabit rice fields, streams, swamps, grasslands, reed ponds and nearby grass and shrubs in low hills and forest edges. They sometimes appear in forest grasslands and swamps and grasslands on both sides of rivers. They often go out to open grasslands in the morning and evening. When in danger, they will run quickly towards the grass or water. After reaching the water, they will either swim in the water or fly to the other side of the water. Sometimes when threatened, they will lower their heads and tails and run on the ground, or hide in the grass or bushes. Feeds mainly on aquatic insects and other small invertebrates.

The red-topped chicken I bought from the market today was the last photo I took before it was alive. When I took the photo, I couldn't bear to do anything to it, and then decisively handed over this cruel thing to his father. Let me make it clear that if we were just adults, I would never want to eat such a cute little animal. I don't know if there are children in my public account who were born prematurely and had caesarean section. If so, I think you can understand that I did this simply to get the child better.

After the chicken has been processed by my father, I make soup by steaming it. As you can see from the picture, there is a large pot outside the small steel pot. Place a rack under the big pot and put the water in the small steel pot. Put as much water as the family can drink, because there will be no shortage of water. The chicken can be cooked in cold water. Furthermore, when steaming soup, you need to pay attention to the fact that the water in the large and small pots must be fully boiled before closing the lid.

I have three kinds of ginseng, all of which are for replenishing qi and blood. I forgot the name of the ginseng. Then I added wolfberry, red dates, and ginger. When they are all poured into the steamed water over high heat, there will be blood foam, but don’t throw it away. The one is also for replenishing qi and blood. This is what the boss told me. In order to clear the fire, I added fresh old lotus seeds and simmered them together, then steamed for 1.5-2 hours on low heat. Then put a little salt and a little chicken essence in the pot.
